  Hello

  Basically, you need to restore default file Associations.

  (view the contents of .exe), or you can jump into any other application.

• Black screen with cursor during windows startup

  Hello

  After a recent McAfee virus scan update, it asked me to restart my computer. After restarting, I can't have a black screen with the cursor in the middle.

  I have tried pressing F8 on startup to the top:

  Repair your computer (System or Startup Repair restoration) - this does not seem to solve the problem

  I tried pressing ctrl-alt-del and SHIFT 5 times on the black screen. This does nothing.

  The laptop does not work in safe mode.

  You have any ideas how I might solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Chris

• desktop.ini files are showing even after masking the BONES protected files and they are everywhere

  Everything is almost described in the title

  Out of nowhere this "desktop.ini" file started appearing in almost all of the folders and delete them changes icons of folders where they exist in the settings and I found that the only way to hide them is to hide one in each folder specially after finding that they are not considered "BONES protected files" by the system or it was to hide just after masking "Protected OS files" but cache the one by one is not the best option to consider, although unlike the real "desktop.ini file" in the Users\User\Desktop folder that is considered protected operating system file and mask normally with the protected operating system files.

  Now, I want to just hide in a process that is not separately if possible please.

  For more details:

  -The content of the original "desktop.ini" file in the Users\User\Desktop folder is different from those non-hidden other those as follows:

  Contents of the Original file:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [. ShellClassInfo]
  LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
  IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  No hidden files content:

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [. ShellClassInfo]
  IconResource = D:\Softwares\Icons\Metro Collection\Metro_Tiles_1\Metro ICO\System Icons\OTHERS\OTHERS\Journal.ico,0
  [ViewState]
  Mode =
  Vid =
  FolderType = generic

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Comment: The "IconResource' location changes depending on the icon of the folder where the file exists.

  What is a VRU, what should I do?

  Hello

  1. You scan of bases of safety of Microsoft or any other security software installed on the computer?

  Enable the option Show hidden files and see if you can correctly view the contents of the files.

  I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope this information is useful.
